This herbaceous sauce combines the peppery goodness of arugula with a fragrant coming from herbs, garlic, and a hint of zesty lemon. Tossed with al dente pasta, this dish transforms into a celebration of vibrant colors, textures, and harmonious flavors.

Cooking Time: 30min

Serving: 2 serving

INGREDIENTS:

  • 8 ounces (225g) pasta of your choice
  • 2 cups packed arugula leaves
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. 

  2. In the meantime, in a food processor or blender, combine blanched (30sec in a boiling water) arugula leaves, avocado (peeled and pitted), parsley, sautéed chopped onion and garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
